A variety of vintage and antique containers.
For a long time, I used to collect vintage aluminium measuring spoons that came in a set, held together with a small ring. The problem, however, was that aluminum does not come through a wash cycle in the dishwasher very well and keeping them on a ring was necessary to keep them from getting lost…but kind of inconvenient for practical use. It seemed that being able to grab them and use them individually made more sense…but I wanted to find spoons that were more substantial and had some style to them.
I was perusing an import store and found a set of white china measuring spoons for a very reasonable $2.99 a set and decided on the spot that I wanted several sets to break apart and use a variety of little vintage containers that I already had in my collection.
Even the most functional storage can be beautiful and useful.
I hope you find some inspiration.
Always,
Cindy
